No restriction means that you cannot eat as much as you did before. After a week dr. simpson took me of all food restrictions so I am eating whatever I want. and i am eating too much because I am not loosing weight. I have read that the first month is for healing and any weight loss is a bonus. As soon as I got out of surgery I was pretty uncomfortable because of the gas they put in your stomach. I was in the hospital from 9am and got home at 5:30. they will make you walk 10 minutes every hour as soon as you get out of surgery. They actually made me walk from the recovery room to my hospital bed. the next day I had no more stomach pains but the muscle they cut through was very sore. Everytime I would move it would hurt. I played golf the next week with no problems. I have not gone to any support groups but i have gone into rooms like this to talk to people about the lapband. I did great on my pre-op diet. I needed to lose 5 pounds in a week and got it done. i lost another 9 pounds the next week on the Soup diet and then he took me off restriction and gained it all back so I need them to tighten my band a little. there is a better place to go to talk to people www.lapbandforum.com. Lot more people to talk to.

i did mine with simpson on July 2. I am having some trouble at this time because I do not feel restricted. Hopefully my first fill will work. I get it in a week.

Hi everyone, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you. I just weighed my self and since I came off all food restriction i have gained 7 pounds. Sucks. Does anyone know how long you have to wait before you get your first fill.

Just got banded last wednesday with Dr. simpson. First time on the board.

how much cheaper is a fill in mexico?
